Ingredients:

• 8 slices – fresh bread
• 250 g – string beans, chopped
• 1 – onion, finely chopped
• 1 – small potato, finely chopped
• 2-3 pinches – Asafoetida powder
• 2-3 pinches – Turmeric powder
• 2-3 flakes – garlic, crushed
• 1 inch piece – ginger, grated
• 1 tsp – soya sauce
• 1 tsp – Red Chilli sauce
• 2 pinches – Sugar
• 1 tbsp – Butter
• 2 tbsp – cheese
• salt to taste

Method:

1. Microwave or steam the string beans until they soften up (but are firm enough to bite).
2. Heat butter in a pan. Add asafoetida, salt, sugar, ginger and garlic and saute until transparent.
3. Add the beans and all the remaining ingredients, except the bread slices and cheese.
4. Stir-fry and let the excess moisture evaporate. Take off the heat, cool it slightly and fold it in cheese.
5. Butter each slice sparingly on both the sides.
6. Put a spoonful of the prepared veggie between two slices. Toast until crisp and golden in colour.
7. Cut into two triangles and serve hot with ketchup or green chutney.
